British football is getting dirtier. After the last few months of watching, I'm certain that statement is true. I never was a "get-stuck- in" type when playing, and, although football is a man's game, I don't advocate it becoming an "After you, Claude" affair. hard-tackling, in-for-the-BALL player is a pleasure to watch and to play against, but I don't call a man player if he uses foul methods.
